🎙️ Fueling the Change: Nutrition for Menopause Preparation

Menopause isn’t just a phase—it’s a transformation, and how you nourish your body can make all the difference. In this episode we'll share how to proactively support your body before and during menopause with smart, science-backed nutrition strategies.

We’ll start with a quick overview of what’s really happening in your body during menopause and perimenopause—from hormonal shifts to common symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and weight changes. Then we’ll dive into why nutrition matters more than ever, and how what you eat can directly impact your hormones, bones, mood, and metabolism.

You'll learn practical, actionable nutrition goals including:

Supporting bone health with key nutrients
Balancing hormones and boosting mood with whole foods
Managing weight and energy with smarter eating
Supporting gut and liver function for better estrogen metabolism

We'll also bust some common myths (like the soy scare or calorie-cutting craze), share a sample day of menopause-prep meals, and offer simple tips for sustainable change.

Whether you’re in your late 30s or already navigating the transition, this episode gives you the tools to fuel your body with confidence and clarity.
